Sure it has. I'm also pretty sure I sent you the details at least once. SPI will quite happily handle donations (we even have a donations web page which allows donations directly into SPIs bank account (and labelled for our use). All I have said in the past is that I'm not keen on taking donations without some clear plan as to how they would be used. That's never been forthcoming, so I haven't push the donations features. > But such donations would be best invested into developer effords > such we did with a NVT development contest some time ago. > I could also imagine paying students for interesting features > or travelling to gather OpenVAS developers at conferences, running > booths etc. > > Donations are not good to base a reliable service on as they don't > come in on a reliable basis.

Monetray donationes, I agree, on the other hand, I don't see why we couldn't have further mirrors by donation of server/bandwidth though, for example, I could easily mirror the plugins on one of my servers.
